Aug 31 Peach Caprese Salad And A Trip To Italy GIVEAWAY!

It is prime time for peaches right now, so I have an easy salad for you that makes these juicy treasures the star of the show. This peach caprese salad with homemade mozzarella is as gorgeous as it is tasty. Plus I have a fun giveaway for you! More below ...

Since I married into an Italian family, it is totally necessary that I learn how to cook Italian food. I have always wondered how to make homemade mozzarella, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity. It wasn't as hard as I thought! P.S. you might recognize this DIY monogram cutting board. I use it all of the time! For single servings, I think it's fun to dish the salad out onto these mini cutting boards/cheese boards.

First, follow the instructions on the mozzarella cheesemaking kit. Next, slice the peaches and tomatoes into wedges. Slice the mozzarella into thin slices.

Arrange the salad onto a serving platter alternating between the tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and peaches. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze, and sprinkle with salt + pepper. Serve with slices of bread and a small bottle of olive oil.

So, how about a global food adventure? This is my dream. I have always wanted to take a cooking class overseas. I'm so jealy because you have the opportunity to do just this with the giveaway below.
